WOOD IS OUR
PASSION. New materials are constantly being
used in furniture, interior design and in exhibition stand

construction. And yet, the aesthetic fascination of wood is

timeless. Based on decades of experience and continual

innovation, we develop our automatic sanding

machines to meet the highest standards. This

is the best prerequisite for ensuring that the

living material wood, in all its diverse varieties,

will delight after processing – as the result of

efficient and resource-conserving production.

Ergonomic and intelligent
Machine systems with complex functions need a control system
that works precisely and can be intuitively operated: With the
“i-Touch” rotary knob or the automatic thickness setting, WEBER
offers an efficient and intelligent control concept.

QUALITY IS WEBER modularity

Joiners, panel manufacturers and the furniture industry have very
different needs. New materials and new designs often demand
new manufacturing processes. WEBER has a convincing answer

stations. The arrangement of the sanding
stations can be varied as desired. In addition
to the cross belt station and the wide belt
stations, such as contact roller, combination

WEBER KSL
Automatic sanding machine
The KSL series is the high performance model from
WEBER for industrial use. In addition to all the advantages
of the KSF series, the KSL is distinguished by a reinforced
construction of the machining stations, a contactless
workpiece detection and high speed electronics. In this
way the WEBER KSL meets the highest requirements in
feeding and sanding performance.

WEBER KSF/KSL
Sanding lines
WEBER sanding lines are designed for the industrial use.
These lines work with direct transfer of the workpiece
or intermediate conveyor belt. The machine control is
central or via single panels.

The bottom sanding stations are arranged verti-

cally and therefore easily available for a sanding
belt change. The belt lengths of the bottom san-
ding stations are identical with the belt lengths
of the top sanding stations.
All the sanding and brushing stations, inclu-
ding the WEBER planetary head technique, are
available.

WEBER line integration

Unlimited integration
WEBER automatic sanding machines are
used in production lines and lacquering
units for wood sanding and also for lacquer
intermediate sanding. The WEBER CBF
sanding technology plays an important role
in the final sanding for both processes. The
quality of the resulting sanding represents the
optimum basis for subsequent staining and
lacquering. Since WEBER automatic sanding
machines are controlled by Siemens S7 control
systems, line integration is easily possible for
all well-known manufacturers of lacquering
units. In this way, the necessary parameters
can be predefined and set centrally from the
control station. To accommodate difficult
spaces on site, the machines in the production
lines are available with left-hand or right-hand
operating and belt exchange sides.

WEBER
Light Messaging System
Operator guidance with light strip
A light strip at the inlet informs the operator
intuitively with different colors about the recent
state of the machine. The colors signalize diffe-
rent operating states via permanent or pulsating
light. Through explicit signals, the machine can
be watched even from a distance, because the
operator is informed easily, if an intervention is
necessary. For example, when the life time of the
sanding belt is reached or maintenance is requi-
red.
Quality “Made in Germany”
Our company, rich in tradition, can look back on over
100 years of sanding machine manufacturing.
The WEBER machine works are synonymous with
innovation and high-quality machine construction.
